Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Orange Cranberry Chicken Thighs
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Place in a large baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine cranberries, the juice and zest of one orange, honey, and olive oil. Stir until the cranberries are well-coated.
- Pour the cranberry-orange mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken thighs, ensuring the cranberries are spread out.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 45 minutes until the skin is golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with the sauce halfway through if desired.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving, drizzled with the sauce.

Notes
For best flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning for a couple of hours. Pair with wild rice or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
